Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Teddye Buchanan, 44 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That Porter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 30 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to No. 56 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A premium they did not need to pay, Maxwell Hairston a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darien Porter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Darien Porter while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at the 132nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in Round 5, Pick 31 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at No. 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
No drama and no debate, Jack Nelson went about where he belonged in slot 173. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the 177th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Teddye Buchanan well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
